Tho Peoples n Atter.

Now that the hottest OF the summer |
may be supposed to be over the people
might and some time to organize and
work for the constitutional convention
that Is to be voted either for or against
on the second Tuesday OF Novem ber.
As the politicians, the office holders
aud the office hunter seem to have
dropped entirely ont OF the contest, 1t
remains for the people to take 1t up and
Garry 1t ou to o successful Issue. In;
suoh an effort there need be no partisan
lines. Democrats, Rspu blicans, Tem-
peranoe men and Labor men can unite
heartily In the movement without a
breach OF party faith. Shall We have q
constitutional convention is the only
question that will come before the peo-
pie at the Novem ber election. A Leg.
tslature unanimously Democratic passed
the Law to leave II to vote OF the peo.
pie; surely then Dem ocrats should not
hesitate to vote for 1t. The Rspubli.
cans have always asked for such An
opportunity, and why should they no,
vote for II? There 10 no politics what.
ever In the question. Tnsre ore NO
ofa ,ers to elect nothing whatever to
divide the people; why not then come
together As one man and vote to have
constitutional convention? TIE people
need convention and the bes. nterests
OF the State need It; why not call 1t?

no active interest in calling conven-

Too MUCH CLAIMED.

We publish in another column para
kraph from the editorial columns of the
Kew York Evening Post, in which that
burnal seeks to make it appear that we
|onfessed recently that prohibition is a
allure here. THE Post doesn't take
|tock in prohibition, and so falls into the
|rror of claiming altogether more than
|ur statement warrants. 1t argues that
because intoXicants are sold in prohibi-
on State prohibition is delusion and
hare. 1t would be as sensible for us in
Termont to say that, inasmuch as bribe-
living and bribe-taking have been known
b New York city, the laws against these
|ffences are useless. The laws prohibit
| large number of crimes, but they do
OF entirely prevent their commission.
they are simply the best preventive
|heasures that mankind has been able to
evise. A large majority of the people
! Vermont believe the prohibitory liquor
kw to be the most efficient means of
essening the liquor traffic, and therefore
! is kept upon our statute-books. No
ne but resident of Utopia or of the
rid and rumless wastes of Manhattan
Bland would expect it to annihilate the
rade in intoxicants.

He was charged with violating section
5029 of the United States statutes in sign
ing as director a statement of the burst
ed First national bank of Dansville wher
he knew it to be fraudulent. 1t is claim
ed by Faulkner's friends that he had solo
his stock in the bank, resigned his posit

nothing in regard to the affairs of the
bank for long time. Gen Faulkner is &
prominent figure in New York State pol
itics. During Samuel j. Tilden's leader

Representative Mills of Texas is a fine
specimen of the carpet-bagger according
to the Corsicana Star, printed in the town
where he claims to live. The Star says {:
''Mr. Mills is native and resident of Vir-

only, owns house and lot in our little
city and pays us visit once year. With
his grip in hand, he puts up at the Com
mercial Hotel, log-rolls around just long
enough to get elected, then skips for his
Virginia home and Washington

Mr.. E. n. Bissell of the cattle COM
mission went to Boston last Thursday
night to see the Massachusetts commits

they decided that there was no reason
for quarantining against Vermont. But

there would have been scare and a pro
hibition of the importation of Vermont
cattle into that State.
